Hah! I would try that if the boss hadn't gone golfing and left me running the office.

When I got the call from the post office that my chicks were in I simply could not wait. I own a salon, made my client sit there and wait while I ran to get my chicks, took them to my mom's house where I had dropped off my brooder set up then went back to work. I could not wait till the day was over to take them all home and watch them for hours. lol So fun! In fact I think I need to order some more chicks this summer. Here we go again!

SO?!!! What are they and how many? You're talking to a group of people who WANT to know what you bought. (My friends, neighbors, and cohorts just get a funny look on their face and ask "Chickens?")

A pair each of RIR, RIW, BR and NH. Hopefully all pullets! Not that we couldn't have a rooster (we are fairly rural on 2.5 acres), just wasn't planning for one this year. We have two 1 year old hens we picked up about a month ago, but these will be our first chicks. I am so excited!

Let me fire up the Lear Jet and I'll pick them up for you. Oh wait, I'll get the helicopter so I can do a drop. Now, where exactly is the post office?

Luckily they are not at the PO, but the local feed store I pre-ordered from. If they were at the PO I don't think I could keep myself here. The feed store is a good one, so I know they are being well cared for until I get there.

Doesn't make the waiting much easier though!

omg I get this all the time. My clients think I have lost my mind. My co-workers glare at anyone that asks "so how are your chickens?" cuz then I go into a hour long story about the latest happenings with my flock. They are so sick of hearing about it. But then when I find someone with the same chicken fever as me it is like I have been in a foreign country and finally found someone who speaks english! lol That is why I love this message board. We actually do want to know all the little details that most people don't even know exist!​

Oh how fun!! Please post pictures when you get them settled. Our BR is on of our favorites. The kids are just drawn to her.

I agree totally! I haven't found anyone here who has chicken fever but, since finding this board, I'm starting to enjoy watching people's faces as they try to keep a straight face the first time they hear I bought chickens. You'd think I just told them I decided to climb Mount Everest naked.

Just think...all the post office customers who came in while your chicks were there must have gotten a bick boot out of hearing them Chirp and the postal clerk must be going nuts.
